    go and enjoy your new found wealth and leisure,
    fuck, that'd really suck

  2. A job I used to have was adjusting the xtal osc for "exact" frequency to keep the real time clock accurate.

  12. And Donald never used prossies ???
    Did he just take them on as apprentices
    and teach them about boring missionary sex

  18. Comey doesn't recognise the darkness which is the various policing forces.

  19. successive approximation on The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Innovation (nber.org) · · Score: 1

    It won't be any better than successive approximation, albeit fast, so might appear to be intelligent.

    the hardware is just the vehicle to run iTunes selling any media (App, Music, Content, Book, Video etc...) and pay Apple the 30%,
